325 hp recipe for the ETC

'01 2500, 4x4, QC, auto.... I would like to increase the hp output from the factory rated 235 hp to about 325 hp. 47RE would get an ATS valve body, ATS Triple-Lok TC and ATS Triple-Lok Controller to handle the extra power. The intake would either get the BHAF or aFe Megacannon. Exhaust would get upgraded to 4".

So here's where I need a little help.... will the stock HY35 turbo be adequate for 325 hp or am I looking at a turbo upgrade? Also, what am I going to need to do to get the fuel needed for 325 hp? Can I just add a fuel box or am I also going to need to upgrade injectors?

Any help with specific component suggestions or a point in the direction of where I can find my answers would be great. Please help the noob.

No need to upgrade the turbo, unless egt's become a real problem.
I would suggest for the 325hp an Edge Comp box and 275hp injectors.
Also some modified banjo bolts, to help your fuel delivery.

With the Edge Comp Box and the 275hp injectors, would I need to tap the wire to hit 325hp?

If you are after 325 at the flywheel probabbly not. If you want 325 at the rear wheels you will need to pierce the wire.

Thanks for the replies...... should I be looking at a specific brand of injectors for this goal? Any recommendations?

The 275's are made by Bosch, their prices have gone way up recently. You may want to chech into stage2 injectors from Bully Dog or Diesel Dynamics.
